Potts, from northern Alberta, was convicted of aggravated assault after beating a woman, breaking her jaw and facial bones, cutting off her pinky finger, and forcing her to eat it. The original four-year sentence was deemed too lenient, with the appeal panel imposing a seven and a half-year term. The attack, which lasted over a day, left the victim with metal plates in her face and permanent trauma. The trial judges dismissive attitude towards the victims suffering and his comparison to his own minor injury were criticized. The appeal court emphasized the need for deterrence in such cases and the importance of considering the full impact of the crime, setting a stronger precedent for future sentencing.
